Henry de Bromhead and Rachael Blackmore shared a timely pre-Cheltenham boost when 8-11 favourite Koktail Divin proved an impressive winner of the Leopardstown Members Maiden Hurdle at the Foxrock venue's final jumps meeting until St Stephen’s Day.
The Masked Marvel gelding, in the familiar colours of Barry Maloney, jumped to the front two from home and stretched clear to win, eased down, by six lengths from Champagne Kid.
